Get started!

You can get your primary care at MIT Health without choosing a primary care provider (PCP), but it can still be a good idea to choose one. Your PCP will be your personal clinician — the provider you or your child will see most often and with whom you’ll discuss your health concerns and questions. 

You’ll see your PCP for most routine care — regular physical exams, medical concerns that are not urgent, or management of chronic conditions, like diabetes or high blood pressure. When you need more than routine care, your PCP can connect you to specialists, order diagnostic testing at MIT Health or elsewhere, and coordinate follow-up care as needed.

You can choose a primary care provider (PCP) for every member of your family who will be getting care at MIT Health. Start by taking a look at PCPs who are accepting new patients. Click on any provider’s name to read more about their background and additional specialties or clinical interests. Once you see a provider who seems like a good fit, make an appointment. And once you decide you want that clinician to be your PCP, just tell any front-desk patient care representative at MIT Health to include that choice on your record.
